One partial solution to this, which I use, is to rename the names of your educational and work institutions to generic equivalents, such as:

UK University

FinTech Startup

Large Logistics Company

Solo Project

This has the advantage that even if I lose control of my data, prospective employers or recruiters cannot unscrupulously call people in my employment and educational history in order to obtain information about me. If an employer is serious, we can have a proper conversation before they get an emailed/paper copy of my CV.

You also do not need to use your real name in your Stack Overflow CV.

I do tend to use links to my blog, and other profiles on the web, but I do not really treat those as a potential privacy violation.
